Kimberworth Park — Restaurant in Rotherham

Before lockdowns I used to enjoy the food. This was my first return... The prices have increased, just like everything else... But at the same time, the portion sizes have been reduced... On top of that, the Yorkshire puddings I was served were stale. They tasted like they were made the day before. I think this is the only time I have ever left Yorkshire's on my plate... I can't see me going back any time soon. It's a shame... It used to be the only local place I knew where I could get a decent Sunday dinner. They say all good things come to an end, and I'm afraid It looks like C'vid has ruined another business... Edit: I can't find an option to reply, so I had to edit my initial review... Yes, I am certain I have got the right place. It's within sight of my home, I'm not likely to be mistaken. As for the portion sizes, I was referring to the meat. I used to dine on Sunday quite regular, and on a large dinner, you used to be served more than one slice of each meat (Gammon, Beef, Turkey) This has definitely changed post lockdown and cost of living increases. I have honestly never tasted a Yorkshire pudding so stale, and I used to eat them the day after a roast at home. I was actually being generous suggesting that they had been cooked the day before. When I questioned the lady serving about the meat portion size, she looked quite disgusted at me, and snapped a response "that is a large one" Maybe she selected stale puddings from the heated display as some sort of revenge for my question? Whatever the reason, they were hard, stale and inedible, and they were left...

Atrocious place. Birthday meal with family. Seating area smelled of cigarette smoke on arrival due to customers smoking just outside an open fire door!! There were 22 of us eating so spent a pretty penny!! Granddaughter is a picky eater and her two favourite meals were unavailable. A small child and a dog were running all around the tables, even though a sign on door stated "guide dogs only" some food ok but some waited over 1 hr and food incorrect or cold. When we complained the staff we very abrasive and off hand "I've served a lot of people other than you tonight so can't remember!!" My son also witnessed drug taking in the gents toilets!! Seems like this pub only caters for local regulars. Avoid at all costs

EDIT: WE WERE NOT LATE FOR OUR BOOKING!! Some members of our party arrived well before the booking time of 6.30pm. The under 18s policy was not an issue at all, although I admit I had queried it previously, and this would have been totally respected had we not been kept waiting for over an hour for some meals, which were then incorrect (? 3 strips of raw red onion added to a sausage and mash meal does not constitute onion gravy!!) or cold. And then received somewhat abrasive comments from staff when we complained. I stand by all my observations in my original review, including the smoking outside an open fire door and drug usage and will dispute any attempt by the manager to distract or deflect from these comments. There were 22 people in my party; we all made the same...

Really disappointed with this pub. We made a booking for the carvery for today, it’s the first time I’ve been there since the pandemic. Got there, first struggled to use the disabled bays in the very neglected car park. There’s three that I could see, none no larger than a standard bay which defeats the point of them being disabled. Got inside and noticed the decor looked very run down, torn and worn out carpets, dirty and damaged walls. After buying drinks we went to find a seat, just about to sit down when a fellow diner told me to watch where I was standing. Right in the middle of the carpet was faeces! Possibly from a dog ( surely), three pieces right next to the table. I was horrified. Went to the bar to see if the staff knew, they did. After a few minutes someone came out of the kitchen with a handful of blue paper towels (no gloves) and picked up the faeces, returned to the kitchen then came back with some kind of spray and cloth to attempt to sanitise the carpet. We decided then there was no way we were going to eat there. We cancelled our booking and left. If something like this happens hygiene protocols should have meant the area was immediately closed off, patrons re-seated elsewhere, and the entire area properly sanitised, preferably by someone wearing gloves and not returning to the kitchen with the soiled paper towels. This did not happen. We will not...
